The fourth and final round of the 2026 CJ Cup Byron Nelson gets underway on Sunday at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.
Si Woo Kim leads by two strokes at 21-under par after the second round. Even with the lead, the tournament remains in reach for Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark and others with one day remaining.
Here is my pick and CJ Cup Byron Nelson Round 4 best bet.
CJ Cup Byron Nelson Round 4 Best Bet
Scottie Scheffler Outright Winner (+145 at bet365)
Scottie Scheffler made a charge Saturday with one of the low rounds of the day, finishing T2 at 19-under par. At +145, it's worth backing the world's best golfer to win this tournament for the second consecutive year.
TPC Craig Ranch stretches nearly 7,400 yards and plays as a long course by PGA Tour standards. As a result, roughly 40% of approach shots come from 200-plus yards, well above the Tour average.
Despite its length, the course is highly scorable due to its openness and lack of severe penalty areas. The receptive greens allow strong long-iron players to generate numerous birdie and eagle opportunities.
This type of birdie-heavy setup favors players who excel with long irons, which is why Scheffler has thrived here. This season, he ranks seventh on the PGA Tour in birdie-or-better percentage on approach shots from 200-plus yards.
In a low-scoring event, efficiency on the greens becomes critical. Players must convert opportunities and avoid mistakes to keep pace.
Scheffler's short game supports that need. On par 3s and par 4s, he will need to hit precise approach shots to create birdie chances on these receptive greens.
On par 5s, his long-iron ability should create eagle opportunities, often leaving him with lengthy putts. Scheffler is capable in those situations.
On the PGA Tour, he ranks in the 73rd percentile in strokes gained: putting from 2-5 feet and in the 98th percentile from 30-plus feet.
